I can login with Konqueror 3.1.1 every week or so to empty out the spam. The problem is Hotmail sets quite a few cookies. It sounds like you are blocking some of the passport cookies and MS will not let you go on until you let the cookies through.

1) Use the address to register into sites that you don't trust (i.e. an SPAM e-mail client :)
2) To continue using msn messenger with kopete.
3) To have an account that never fills up (configure it to delete all e-mail automatically, just by allowing only the e-mails in an empty addressbook ;-) useful if someone is annoying you...

1. There are sites that let you create email addresses for this very purpose. Another option is to setup your own domain. For instance I register with sites by using the site name at my domain (ie amazon.com@mydomain.com) and forward all but my private addresses to spam@mydomain.com so I don't have to wade through a bunch of spam to get to my real messages. Also, that way I can tell if I'm getting spam from someone who shouldn't be sending me spam.

2. I used msnmessenger@mydomain.com to register my messenger account, so I don't think you need a hotmail account to do this.

I m using a network PC in my college.The Server adminstrator has locked the hotmail site n sites like yahoo mail etc..
wehn i open the page hotmail.com n put in my user name n password n click on sign in then the page keeps on loading n eventually CANNOT FIND SERVER or just "done" with a blank white screen appears.My college is using a DSL connection.
Yahoo mail is opened from other sites which hav the option tht u can check ur yahoo mails thru their web...so i wanna ask is there any web which enable me to check my hotmail mail or do u ppl hav any other way to solve my problem.
i'll b thankful
Ba'bye

Kinda sad to see that reported as a bug, but I guess if cpu-intensive screensavers bog down the older computer than it must be fixed. Though I wish it could be toggled for older computers. Oh well, great work guys/gals

Nah, you should look at the whole picture. The amount of unconfirmed and new bug reports are pretty much stable while the amount of resolved bug reports is rising steadily at a very high rate. See long_url

What we need to do is thin the huge amount of old bug reports which are idling for a long time now and of which I'm sure the majority is no longer valid anymore (either fixed, wontfix or duplicate).

Actually I think it might be helpful.
There is a Alpha listed there, is it out yet? I think not otherwise the proper date would be listed there. If I'm right, then the Beta won't be out for any time soon...

KDE 3.2 shuld not be released while we have more tha 1,000 confirmed bugs. And ofcourse 4.0 which I have come to expect to be fantastic and extremely stable and fast should have even fewer bugs =) I will do my best to find bugs and evn fix them once I learn Qt and finish learning C++.

I just for the first time used the "settings" entry on the kde.org web site and set the color scheme to "classic blue". WOW. It looks so much more professional than the default color scheme - I must say I am really impressed.

There'll be a poll to decide which of the available color schemes will be used as default (feel free to contribute your own ones). Currently a competition to include new custom images and signs is running (see http://dot.kde.org/1048968963/ ).
